Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for shortstopping free radical polymerization reactions using combinations of N-isopropylhydroxylamine (IPHA) or salts thereof with primary or secondary alkyl hydroxylamines, or their salts.
- IPHA N-isopropylhydroxylamine
- a method for producing elastomers using the aforesaid shortstopping agents is also provided.
- Free radical initiated emulsion polymerization reactions for making elastomers such as styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, often involve use of shortstopping agents to terminate the polymerization reaction.
- the polymerization reaction is stopped at a predetermined degree of monomer conversion in order to produce a rubber product with the desired characteristics.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,148,225 teaches the use of N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines, such as N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine, as popcorn polymer inhibitors in the preparation of synthetic rubber.
- N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines such as N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine
- Previously and currently used shortstopping agents are known to suffer from one or more drawbacks.
- N, N'-diethylhydroxylamine is a widely-used shortstopping agent, however, it is relatively volatile and is readily removed with the unreactive monomers during the steam stripping step. This in turn can result in insufficient DEHA present in the resulting latex emulsion to prevent additional free radical polymerization from occurring and can cause Mooney viscosity drift. Furthermore, subsequent emulsion polymerizations that utilize recovered and recycled monomer streams can contain excessive amounts of DEHA that will deactivate a portion of the initiator package and will ultimately require use of greater amounts of initiator. The use of DEHA can also result in the formation of precursors to regulated nitrosamines.
- DEHA is sometimes combined with non-volatile free radical scavengers such as sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate (SDD) or sodium tetrasulfide (ST) to reduce the Mooney viscosity drift of the resulting latex.
- SDD sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate
- ST sodium tetrasulfide
- SDD sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate
- ST sodium tetrasulfide
- IPHA N-Isopropylhydroxylamine
- IPHA is also widely used as a shortstopping agent and has the advantage of providing excellent Mooney viscosity control while not contributing to the formation of any regulated nitrosamines, as discussed in U.S. Patent No. 5,384,372 .
- IPHA is capable of providing control of undesired vapor phase polymer formation (popcorn polymer), however, its efficacy can be variable depending on plant conditions.
- EP 1 083 185 describes the use of nitrosamine inhibitors with secondary alkylhydroxylamines that are otherwise capable of producing nitrosamines in emulsion and rubber processes. The benefits and drawbacks of IPHA and DEHA are discussed in this patent document.
- IPHA or its salts may, for example without limitation, be selected from the group consisting of N-isopropylhydroxylamine, N-isopropylhydroxylamine acetate, N-isopropylhydroxylamine hydrochloride, N-isopropylhydroxylamine sulfate, and mixtures thereof.
- IPHA IPHA
- hydroxylamine HA
- WO 2002/0038617 a nitrosamine-free shortstopping agent having better prevention of popcorn polymer formation than IPHA alone.
- Hydroxylamine however, rapidly decomposes, particularly in the presence of metal ions, which creates significant storage and handling issues.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,504,168 describes blends of IPHA with polysulphides used as shortstopping agents for emulsion polymerization systems.
- EHA N-ethylhydroxylamine
- WO 2000/0042079 discloses sterically-hindered alkyl hydroxylamines, such as N-tertiary-butylhydroxylamine and N,N-isopropylmethylhydroxylamine, and their use as free radical scavengers and shortstopping agents.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,723,255 describes shortstopping compositions which contain at least one hydrophilic radical scavenger and at least one hydrophobic radical scavenger. It is shown in this document that shortstopping agents having fewer carbon atoms have greater volatility and water solubility.
- the present invention is a method for terminating a free radical initiated emulsion polymerization reaction comprising adding, to an emulsion comprising at least one monomer, a shortstopping agent comprising isopropylhydroxylamine (IPHA) or salts thereof and at least one alkyl hydroxylamine compound which is different from said IPHA or salts thereof and is selected from the group consisting of a primary alkyl hydroxylamine, a secondary alkyl hydroxylamine, and mixtures thereof, wherein said at least one alkyl hydroxylamine comprises N-tertiary-butylhydroxylamine (TBHA).
- IPHA isopropylhydroxylamine
- TBHA N-tertiary-butylhydroxylamine
- the alkyl hydroxylamine is a primary alkyl hydroxylamine selected from the group consisting of N-methylhydroxylamine (MHA), N-ethylhydroxylamine (EHA), N-propylhydroxylamine (PHA), and mixtures thereof.
- MHA N-methylhydroxylamine
- EHA N-ethylhydroxylamine
- PHA N-propylhydroxylamine
- the IPHA or its salts and the primary or secondary alkyl hydroxylamine are present in the shortstopping agent in a molar ratio of IPHA:alkyl hydroxylamine of from 40:1 to 1:1.
- the primary alkyl hydroxylamine may be TBHA, where the IPHA or its salts and TBHA are present in the shortstopping agent in a molar ratio of IPHA:TBHA of 5:1.
- the shortstopping agent comprises from 1 to 20 % by weight of IPHA, based on the total weight of hydroxylamines present, and at least two primary alkyl hydroxylamines (AHAs).
- IPHA or its salts and the at least two primary alkyl hydroxylamines are present in the shortstopping agent in a molar ratio of IPHA:primary AHAs of from 0.02:1 to 0.1:1.
- the shortstopping agent may comprise from 30-90% by weight of a solvent, based on the total weight of the shortstopping agent.
- the solvent may for example, comprise water.
- the shortstopping agent may be added to the emulsion in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.25 parts (active basis) per hundred parts of said monomer (phm).
- the present invention also provides a method for producing an elastomer comprising the steps of:
- the elastomer may be a rubber selected from the group consisting of styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber.
- parts and “phm (parts per hundred monomers)," as employed in the following examples, refers to parts by weight of shortstopping agent per 100 parts of monomer charged.
- the dosage and ranges of shortstopping agent are noted on active basis of the substance, not as supplied product concentration.
- a shortstopping agent which is a combination of isopropylhydroxylamine (IPHA) or its salts and at least one primary or secondary alkylhydroxylamine.
- inventive combinations provide excellent shortstopping / Mooney viscosity control, have very good storage stability / handling issues, and provide good popcorn polymer control.
- the combinations which include primary alkyl hydroxylamines do not form nitrosamine precursors and allows manufacture of rubber compliant with the German TRGS 552 regulation.
- the IPHA or its salts may, for example without limitation, be selected from the group consisting of N-isopropylhydroxylamine, N-isopropylhydroxylamine acetate, N-isopropylhydroxylamine hydrochloride, N-isopropylhydroxylamine sulfate, and mixtures thereof.
- N-isopropylhydroxylamine is commercially available from ANGUS Chemical Company of Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
- Suitable primary alkyl hydroxylamines and their salts may, for example without limitation, be selected from the group consisting of N-methylhydroxylamine (MHA), N-ethylhydroxylamine (EHA), N-propylhydroxylamine (PHA), N-tertiary-butylhydroxylamine (BHA), and mixtures thereof.
- MHA N-methylhydroxylamine
- EHA N-ethylhydroxylamine
- PHA N-propylhydroxylamine
- BHA N-tertiary-butylhydroxylamine
- IPHA/primary alkyl hydroxylamine combinations provide excellent shortstopping / Mooney viscosity control, are stable, the chemistry is non-nitrsoamine generating, as well as providing good popcorn polymer control.
- Suitable secondary alkylhydroxylamines may, for example without limitation, be selected from the group consisting of N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine (DMHA), N,N-isopropylmethylhydroxylamine (IPMHA), and mixtures thereof. These combinations provide good shortstopping, excellent Mooney viscosity control, and popcorn polymer control. Some secondary alkyl hydroxylamines are capable of forming nitrosamine precursors, so they are less desirable than the primary alkyl hydroxylamines in combination with IPHA.
- DMHA N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine
- IPMHA N,N-isopropylmethylhydroxylamine
- these ingredients are present in the shortstopping agent in a molar ratio of IPHA:(total primary or secondary AHAs) of from 40:1 to 1:1.
- the molar ratio of IPHA:(total primary or secondary AHAs) present in the shortstopping agent may, without limitation, be from 20:1 to 2:1, or even from 15:1 to 2:1, such as 10:1 to 1:1.
- the shortstopping agent of the present invention comprises only from 1 to 20 % by weight of IPHA, based on the total weight of hydroxylamines present, and at least two primary alkyl hydroxylamines (AHAs).
- the IPHA or its salts and the at least two primary alkyl hydroxylamines are present in the shortstopping agent in a molar ratio of IPHA:primary AHAs of from 0.01:1 to 0.1:1, such as for example, from 0.02:1 to 0.1:1.
- a shortstopping agent in accordance with the present invention may comprise from 1 to 20 wt% IPHA, from 50-70 wt% EHA and from 29-49 wt% TBHA, based on the total weight of all the AHAs present.
- the shortstopping agent may comprise 10 wt% IPHA, 50 wt% EHA and 40 wt% TBHA, or, for example, 2 wt% IPHA, 55 wt% EHA and 43 wt% TBHA.
- These blends containing relatively low amount of IPHA, along with at least two primary AHAs, should provide favorable liquid-gas phase distribution of the shortstopping active ingredients (i.e., the AHAs), thereby providing acceptable short-stopping effectiveness in the vapor phase as well as the liquid phase.
- the shortstopping agent in the organic (i.e., latex) phase during radical polymerization reactions, it is beneficial to have higher solubility of the active ingredients (e.g., AHA's) in organic solvents to facilitate its migration from the aqueous to the organic phase.
- the active ingredients e.g., AHA's
- these ingredients are present in the shortstopping agent in a molar ratio of IPHA:(total primary AHAs) of from 0.02:1 to 0.1:1.
- the molar ratio of IPHA:AHA present in the shortstopping agent may, without limitation, be from 20:1 to 2:1, or even from 15:1 to 2:1, such as 10:1 to 1:1.
- the amount of shortstopping agent (active ingredients, IPHA-AHAs blends) used may be from about 0.01 to 0.25 parts (active basis) per hundred parts of monomer (phm), for example, without limitation about 0.03 to about 0.2 phm.
- the manner by which the shortstopping agent is added to the emulsion is not particularly limited and should be commensurate with conventional techniques used in rubber polymerization processes.
- the blend of IPHA and AHA(s) may first be combined with a solvent, such as water, and then added to the emulsion when the desired monomer conversion has been reached.
- the shortstopping agent of the present invention comprising a blend of IPHA and either a primary or secondary AHAs, or at least two primary AHAs (hereinafter referred to as "IPHA:AHA shortstopping agents"), may be advantageously employed in any addition polymerization system which proceeds through a free radical emulsion polymerization mechanism.
- the emulsion polymerization process may be performed in a batch-wise or continuous mode.
- the method of the present invention may, for example, be advantageously applied to emulsion polymerization reactions which produce styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and polychloroprene.
- SBR styrene-butadiene rubber
- BR butadiene rubber
- NBR acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
- the method of the present invention is not dependent on the free radical polymerization reaction using any particular initiator, activator, reducing agent, complex forming agent, buffer, oxygen-combining substances, emulsifier, dispersing agent, modifier, and the like.
- a chain transfer agent may be used to avoid excessive gel formation and control the average molecular weight.
- the type of chain transfer agent employed is also not particularly limited in accordance with the present invention.
- Other shortstopping agents and radical scavengers may also be combined with the IPHA-AHA shortstopping agent described herein, including for example, without limitation, DEHA, sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate, sodium tetrasulphide, hydroxylamine, ethylhydroxylamine, sodium nitrite.
- the temperature of the polymerization may range from 0°C to 100°C. If a hot polymerization recipe is used, the temperature of the polymerization generally ranges from about 40°C to about 70°C. A hot polymerization is generally carried out to monomer conversion ranging from 80% to 90%. The temperature of a cold polymerization generally ranges from about 0°C to 25°C. The cold polymerization is generally carried out to monomer conversion ranging from about 55% to 65%.
- IPHA has been shown to provide popcorn polymer control, its performance can be variable depending on the plant's design and conditions used to make the rubber.
- the IPHA-AHA shortstopping agents used in the method of the present invention provide more consistent and robust popcorn polymer control compared to using IPHA alone as the shortstopping agent.
- shortstopping agents also provide better overall shortstopping performance versus DEHA-based shortstopping agents.
- the IPHA is combined with at least one primary alkylhydroxylamine, in accordance with the present invention, the regulated nitrosamines contained in the resulting rubber products are below detectable levels compared to rubbers produced by emulsion polymerization reactions shortstopped with DEHA-based shortstops.
- the need for additional free radical scavengers in monomer recovery portions of the emulsion polymerization reactions areas of the polymerization plant is reduced when the IPHA-AHA shortstopping agents described herein are employed in accordance with the method of the present invention.
- compositions - IPHA Preparation of the compositions - IPHA with a primary or secondary AHA
- the various IPHA based blends were prepared by stirring together the commercial product, CHAINGUARD I-15 Hydroxylamine (15% IPHA/85% water) available from the ANGUS Chemical Company) with the desired second alkylhydroxylamine under nitrogen.
- the second alkylhydroxylamine was prepared separately by known procedures found in the open literature.
- the ratio of the IPHA to the desired alkylhydroxylamine could be achieved.
- the concentration of the blend could be adjusted to the desired level.
- SBR styrene butadiene rubber
- the increase in % conversion was calculated as "the conversion at the aged time"-"initial conversion" (X t - X 0 ).
- Mooney viscosity is used in the industry as a key specification property for SBR. It is not a viscosity measurement in the true sense of the scientific term, but instead a measure of shearing torque averaged over a range of shear rates for the polymer.
- the Mooney viscosity of a sample depends upon the average molecular weight (chain length) and polydispersity of the macromolecular chains.
- chain length chain length
- polydispersity of the macromolecular chains the extent of monomer conversion to polymers will be an indication of the Mooney viscosity of the resultant rubber. Once the rubber is coagulated from the latex, it is still possible for the Mooney viscosity to change with time due to chain activity from re-combining of a small number of polymer chains.
- Table 1 Increase in % conversion (X t - X 0 ).
- the shortstopping agents which comprise IPHA and at least one primary or secondary alkyl hydroxylamine, are effective shortstopping agents.
- the mixtures containing IPHA and MHA or PHA are better at controlling conversion, and thus Mooney viscosity drift, as the sample ages.
- the various blends claimed were tested for their thermal stability in the presence of stainless steel 316 (SS316) or carbon steel 1010 (CS1010) metal filings using a dynamic scanning calorimeter (DSC). These metals were selected as they are representative of environments typically encountered by our current product offering (CHAINGUARD I-15) and are environments that would reasonably be expected to contact the novel IPHA-based blends described in this disclosure.
- the tests were performed on a 15.8 : 3.2 wt% (5:1 ratio) aqueous solution of IPHA to the blend alkylhydroxylamine (e.g. MHA, PHA, TBHA, DMHA, IPMHA, and DEHA). The results are summarized in Table 2 below.
- the comparative IPHA/HA blend as described in International Patent Application Publication No. WO 02/38617 is not as compatible with the typical materials of construction that the commercial IPHA product encounters as it degrades at a much lower temperature than any of the IPHA-based blends. In light of this, it is clear that the IPHA/HA blend is not suitable for long term shipping or storage in SS316 or CS1010.
- 1% active solutions were prepared for all the alkylhydroxylamines under evaluation.
- a certain weight was loaded into the test flask set in a water bath.
- the flask was equipped with a vaporizer arm and was further connected with a condenser arm.
- the water bath was equipped to heat to solution to 85-90°C.
- the assembly was maintained under vacuum at 20.5 inches Hg. Extra care was taken to ensure that condensation would not occur in the upper areas of this assembly. The system was allowed to reach equilibrium.
- Popcorn polymer is a highly crosslinked material which can form in the monomer recovery areas of processes containing dienes such as butadiene; these processes include manufacturing of SBR, NBR, BR, and polychloroprene. Popcorn polymer is insoluble in organic solvents, and can cause costly maintenance shutdowns. Popcorn inhibition studies were performed in the lab by using an active popcorn seed from Styrene-butadiene emulsion polymerization. This seed was exposed to uninhibited monomer under conditions relevant in the industrial emulsion polymerization process. The effect of inhibition using the alkylhydroxylamines was observed over days, noting the number of days of protection offered by each of the alkylhydroxylamines.
- COSMOtherm requires experimental vapor pressure data.
- the vapor pressure data provided to COSMOtherm as an input is given below: TBHA T(*C) PVtot (mPa) 0.0 0.3 15.8 1.4 31.6 5.2 47.3 16.5 63.1 44.8 78.9 106.9 94.7 228.2 110.4 442.7 126.2 791.0 142.0 1317.6
- Ethylbenzene was used in lieu of the organic phase for modelling purposes.
- the extent of partitioning, i.e., the partitioning coefficient, in organic phase (ethylbenzene) is calculated by predicting the quantity: X AHA EB X AHA H 2 O , which is the ratio of total mole fraction of AHA in ethylbenzene to total mole fraction of AHA in water.
- X AHA(EB) / X AHA(H2O) ⁇ 1 will be desired.
